Bringing the Outside in

Amber is alone. She’s not turned up for the first day of her final year of sixth form. She’s

terrified of the climate crisis, and everyone knows it. Enter Yerna - a three thousand year old “giant” she accidentally summons, who turns her stuffy flat into a forest oasis. But can their intentions be trusted? What can an ancient story teach a girl that she doesn’t already know? Bringing The Outside In is a soul-stirring exploration of fear, hope, and the importance of community in a changing world.
